  • Great ok u r welcome, We are good Muslims but tarjamatil quraan at 9 n 10 is so much for students it was political move just.
    Lessen the chapters in islamyat as well, Moreover all books of science are so detailed and so much writing students can’t focus. Matric is just introducing a topic no detailed study.
    Finish ترجمہ fully and not 9 but 10 class too is burdenised.
    Lessen the burden.
    Not much writing but pics in science and half page must b empty means less words bold writing.

  • Thank God finally my son has developed generalised anxiety disorder due to the 9th class syllabus this is absolutely cruel for making children going through this situation I hope they would actually bring the relief for children

  • plz reduce the syllabus for junior classes as well. The books, notebooks and weight of school bags, and the amount of syllabus kids have to memorize, is overloaded.

  • A very bad move,, students wd just have more time to waste on social media and mobiles now.. the syllabus was good enough to cop with the world’s standards…

  • plz reduce the maths and computer syllabus too in this board because we have to give board exams this year. plz make it easier for us, we don’t want to fail. The numbers in 9th class are really important, plz reduce the tarjamah and Islamiat chapters, and especially chemistry and physics, they are just too much for us. Remove nature of science and magnetism from physics and from chemistry. Remove hydrocarbons and reduce stoichiometryand also from urdu reduce the intros of poets or writers and also reduce poems and ghazals and also from english also remove composition syllabus too plzz 🙏🙏

  • It is very important that the syllabus for Class 9 Federal Board be reduced, as it is currently too lengthy and difficult for students to manage. Subjects like Islamiyat, Jamaat-ul-Quran, and others have too much content. The syllabus should be made shorter and more focused, and it should be clearly mentioned what topics will come in the exams instead of keeping it all SLO-based. This will help students study more effectively and reduce unnecessary pressure.
